Re: VLC 3+ audio skipping/fluttering after pause and resume

I believe that the problem is caused by insufficient memory being restored after transfer to swap space when paused. To check memory size/usage/ availability, use the command "free" with option -g for GB, -m for MB, -k for KB. You may need to kill some memory hog programs viewable with &qu...

4.0.0-dev compilation error

I'm having a compilation error with a recent git download which I hope can be solved with your help, please. Research yields similar errors using gcc instead of g++, but I have g++ installed: $ cat /etc/issue.net && uname -a Debian GNU/Linux 12 Linux portable 6.1.0-31-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DY...

Re: vlc-3.0.18 compilation errors with live555

Yes, that's rather obvious. The question is why can't the vlc configure script detect the most recent live555 installation? The section of code that generates the error is somewhat convoluted and contains many variables that are difficult for me to decipher, so I was hoping a more knowledgeable pers...

vlc-3.0.18 compilation errors with live555

My project is to include live555 in vlc for use in Debian 11 to view rtsp streams. Following instructions in http://live555.com/liveMedia/#config-unix no errors were encountered installing live555-latest.tar.gz to the default location. In vlc-3.0.18 however: ./configure --enable-live555 ... checking...

rtsp url with aspect ratio?

We're using vlc to view several rtsp camera streams. The rtsp urls all display properly, but one of them requires a manual adjustment to the aspect ratio in order to display properly, and we're wondering if the desired aspect ratio can be encoded into the rtsp url, please. Initially. this connects: ...

Re: MLR error after upgrading debian 10 to debian 11

Debian dropped support for RTSP in their VLC builds, so this is expected. The same problem occurs with a local build. I compiled VLC version 3.0.16 Vetinari (3.0.13-8-g41878ff4f2) from source on Debian 11, after "./configure --enable-realrtsp ". The error is in "vlc -vv 'rtsp://me:pa...

Re: [SOLVED] Odroid XU4 and Debian laptop VLC problem

The fact that all other mp4 videos played correctly indicated a non-obvious configuration problem in the "motion" video software. The solution was suggested by one of the very helpful people in the motion-user@lists.sourceforge.net forum: ... I would recommend you change the movie_quality ...

Re: Odroid XU4 and Debian laptop VLC problem

... and I will ask once again what is FUSE and how to investigate its usage. Normal downloaded mp4 movies play just fine in vlc on the laptop. "top" indicates no great 1.6GHz cpu usage with 8 GB ram, so I can't agree with your "too slow" assessment.

Re: Odroid XU4 and Debian laptop VLC problem

Play locally?
Please let me explain more succinctly.

VLC media player 3.0.11 Vetinari (revision 3.0.11-0-gdc0c5ced72) plays the file on the XU4, but not on the laptop. I would like to understand why, please.

Re: Odroid XU4 and Debian laptop VLC problem

How to investigate your suggestion, please? "man fuser" doesn't suggest anything obvious. While the laptop's vlc is oaused while displaying the garbage:

Code: Select all

Odroid XU4 and Debian laptop VLC problem

I run security net-cams and process the rtsp streams using "motion" on a headless Odroid XU4. The mp4 files it creates used to play properly on a Debian Buster laptop using vlc, but no longer. I wonder if there is some conflicting library problem after recent updates, but not sure how to d...
